RICHARD G. JOHNSON, OF SALEM, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO J. CHARLES RIGHTER, OF SAME PLACE.

cARRiER FOR PAINT, LUNCH, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,267, dated October 25, 1887.

Application filed February 8, 1887. Serial No. 226,948. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD G. J OHNSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Salem, in the county of Salem, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Carriers for Paint, Lunch, 850., which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in whicha Figure 1 represents 'a vertical section of a carrier or kettle in a closed condition embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a top view thereof in open condition. Fig. 3 represents a vertical section of a modification.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in the several figures.

My invention consists of a carrier for paint, lunch, 850., constructed of chambers to accommodate the various articles, as will be hereinafter set forth.

It also consists of a tray in the lower chamber of the carrier, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the outer wall of the carrier, the same being constructed, preferably of cylindrical form, of sheet metal, with a wooden bottom, B, forming a lower chamber, A One-half of the said wall is carried up above the horizontal partition A, forming a chamber, 0, above the main chamber A to whose upper end is hinged a chamber, D, whereby the latter may be swung upwardly and placed on the chamber 0, as shown by the dotted lines, Fig. 1. The chamber O is open on the side toward the chamber D, whereby access is bad to said chamber (3 when the chamber D is raised.

faucets K, which, when the parts of the carrier are in folded condition, occupy the chamber Oininverted position. (See Fig. 1.) The compartment F has at top a lid, F, whereby the nozzle J is accessible when the parts are in folded or closed position. The compartment [1 has at bottom a lid, L, whereby the interior of said compartment is accessible.

In the base A is a tray, M, which has avertical pivot, M,provided with a handle or knob, M", whereby it may be rotated, and the upper wall of the base, at the portion beneath the chamber D, is formed with an opening, N, so

disposed that pails, cups, &c., placed on the tray are accessible at said opening.

When the carrier is not in use, the opening N is closed by a cover, P, which is pivoted to the top of the base A, and may be swung laterally, as seen in Fig. 2,. when access to the interior of the base or to the tray is required.

The compartment G is divided by a partition, G, so as to contain different substances, such as coffee and milk, or paint and drier, each of which is removable through the respective faucet K. The chamber 0 and the compartments F H may receive dishes, napkins, paint-brushes, or other articles.

When the parts are in closed position, they may be secured by catches or other fastenings suitably applied.

The operation is as follows: The chamber D is opened and swung on the chamber 0. This places the faucets K over the openingN, and consequently above the pails, cups, &., resting on the tray M below said opening. The pails, cups, &c., may now be supplied with the contents of the compartment G by opening the faucets K. The chamber 0 has its side open, whereby the contents thereof may be removed. The compartment H may be opened by raising its lid L. The pails, cups, &c., on the tray, as filled, may be removed through the opening N, after which the tray is rotated, so as to bring other pails, cups, &c., beneath said openings. When thecarrier is to be closed, the cover P is returned over the opening N and the chamber D swung downwardly on the base, the chambers O D thus being side by side and occupying the top of the carrier. The catches or fastenings are se cured, and thus the device may be readily car ried, packed, or stowed, as desired.

In Fig. 3 the portion of the top of the base below the chamber D is provided with ahinged lid, A, inlieu of the opening N, and the'tray may be withdrawn, with its contents, through the opening, otherwise covered by said lid A.

Having thus described my invention, what I clalm as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A carrier having the lower chamber A, the upper fixed chamber 0 and the upper chamber D, hinged to said chamber 0, so as to either rest thereon or on the chamber A, substantially as described.

2. A carrier for the purpose stated, having the lower chamber A the chamber 0, the pivoted chamber D, with faucets K and the tray M in the chamber A and pivoted to the partition A, all substantially as described.

The chamber D, formed into e0mpartments F G H, the compartment F having a lid, F, at top, the compartment H having a lid at bottom, the compartment G having a nozzle, J, and faucet K, connected with it, said 20 parts being combined and operating substantially as described.

4. A carrier having the chambers O D, as stated, and the base A, with an opening in its top wall, and a laterally-swinging cover, P, 25 for said opening, pivoted to said wall and folding between the chamber D and base A, said parts being combined and operating substantially as described.

RICHARD G. JOHNSON.
